GOOD TENNIS wEArHER.

Second Day Of the Intercollegiate Ten.
 nis Tournament With the Courts In
 Prime COnditIOn-The Association
 Votes To Come Here Again Next
 Year.
 The second day of the intercollegiate tennis
 tournament dawned bright and clear, and at
 10:30 a. m. crowds of spectators were on
 hand at the New Haven Lawn club grounds
 to witness the events of the day. The air
 was so cold as to compel the ladies, of whom
 there were large number present, to oeca-
 sionally seek the shelter of the cosy little
 club house and the genial fire which was
 burning and cracking most comfortably on
 the hearth. Conspicuously displayed within
 the room were the prizes, which are unusual
 ly expensive. The first prize in singles is a
 solid silver pitcher, which is valued at $50.
 The second prize is cut glass pitcher with
 silver trimmings. In doubles the first prizes
 are very handsome lamps, and the second
 silver backed brushes.
 The event of the morning was the match between P. Sears and O. s. Campbell which was left unfinished the evening be- fore. Sears is brother of R. D. Sears, the champion of America, while Campbell is @ freshman in Columbia and is said to be but sixteen years old. For so young player he showed remarkable skill and a coolness which very nearly won the match for him. The games of the night before were declared off, and they had to start anew. Sears took the first set, 6-4. Then Campbell captured the second, 63. In the third set, which was very close and exciting, Campbell showed considerable nervousness and lost the set by 8 few bad plays, GA.
 The most exciting contest in the afternoon was that between Sears and Brinley. The first two sets were very close, each player winning one, but in the final set Brinley was evidently rattled, winning only one game in the set. The courts were in first class condition. Following is the result of the second days contests: Second rounds-Q. A. Shaw of Harvard defeated A. Thompson of University of Penn, 6-5, 6 0; G. M. Erin ley of Trinity defeated w. K Gillett of Le- ! high, GA, 6-2; P. s. Sears of Harvard defeat- ed o. s. Campbell of Columbia, 6-4, 36, 6-4. Third round-Sears defeated Brinley, S-6, 4-6, 6-1 Doubles: Preliminary rounds Hovey and Warren of Brown defeated Post and Stephens of Columbia, 60, 64; Sears and Shaw of Harvard defeated Thomas and Henry of University of Pennsylvania, 6 o, 6-1; Duryea and Comstock of Williams de- feated Scott and Patterson of University of Pennsylvania, by default; Ludington and Hurd of Yale defeated Porter and GilIett of Lehigh, 6-1, 2-6, 6-2; Hall and Campbell of Columbia defeated Paddock and Wright of Trinity, 8-6, 86.
 First rounds-Thacher and Shipman of Yale defeated Hovey and Warren of Brown, 6-2, 6-1; Sears and Shaw defeated Davidson Taylor of Harvard defeated Duryea and Com stock, 4-6, 9-7, 4; Hall and Campbell de- feated Ludington and Hurd, 8-6, 7-5. The leading event this morning will be the contest between Thacher and Shipman of Yale and Sears and Shaw of Harvard.

WeatvIIle.

The Congregational church at Westville was filled to oyerfowing on Tuesday even ing to hear the musical entertainment which was given under the direction of Mrs. Lucia Hollis, assisted by Mrs. A. N. Drummond and Messrs. E. A.. Smith and George Brad ley of Trinity Episcopal choir, the Young Ladies' mission circle and other local talent. The opening scene was one from the charming operetta of the Haymakers and was very entertaining. The solos by Messrs. Harper. Bradley, Goodman and the Misses Downs and Robertson were we'll rendered, as also the quartette singing by Miss A. Doo- little, Mrs. F. G. Mum, Mir. W. Bradley and MT. W. Harper.
 The ehoruses, like the maidens,w were bright and pretty. 'Toss it Hither" was sung with real spirit and acted with much grace.
 In part second the curtain rose to the "Clink-i-ty- clink of the Triton Bold, "sung by the quartette, Mrs. Hollis, Mrs. Drummond, Mr. Bradley and MT. Smith.
 MT. Bradley's solo, FsThe Angel at the Window" was finely sung and loudly ap- plauded. The duet, fsTel Rammenti," :" by Mrs. Hollis and Mrs. Drummond was very charming and thoroughly appreciated by the audience.
 The tableau, t'The School of the Vestals,' D with Miss Addie Payne as central figure, was beautifully presented, as was also 'tCleo- patra going to Meet Mark Antony" This was boat scene; Miss Payne as Cleopatra, Fame with her bugle, music. Cupid with his bow and arrow, the rowers, attendants, and young lady at the helm formed an oriental scene of much loveliness.
 The combination of the three graces, 'Faith, Hope and Charity" was a pleasing picture.
 MT Smiths rich baritone yoice showed to good advantage in his solo, Man-o Warsmen. The A, B, 0 duet with Mrs. Hollis greatly amused the audience and brought round of applause. A prominent feature of the even- ing was Miss Hollis solo, and she responded to prolonged encore. The entertainment closed with the Imaginable tableau and quar- tette, "Ye Ancient Choir" Some of the costumes worn were Q century old, at least they looked so- Many of Mrs. Hollis friends ruart nr1t frnr,n ha niH
